That's one tarp where putting the ridgeline under the tarp might actually help structurally, since from the video, the sag you're getting looks to mainly a function of the size and weight of the vast amount of material you got there. But it looks truly palatial, and would be awesome for those wanting not only a little more coverage, but some privacy as well. Might even be able to convince my wife to hang under a tarp like that.

Elegant corners! That tarp makes me want to get a canoe and cruise those northern lakes. I wonder if you could rig it as a sail.

Thanks WV, I've got a soft spot for the canoe country myself.

Thanks Bubba. Lots of thought went into the design, even made a prototype from polytarp and duct tape.

Yep, may have to try to put the RL under it once and see how that goes. I have to start on one for my wife now. She looks at me like I'm half crazy ( only half?) when I start these projects but when I'm done she usually wants one too.

I've thought about a stove, but I'd like a canvas shelter for a stove... maybe someday.
